Luxembourg Air Rescue

Ontem à noite, uns quantos corajosos do plane spotting regional decidiram dar um salto ao aeroporto para fazer umas fotos nocturnas, aproveitando a quantidade pouco habitual de TAP's que passariam pelo aeroporto, por forma a transportar os turistas e estudantes que regressam agora às suas casas / locais de estudo mas, ao chegar à varanda, foi este pequeno Learjet 45 da Luxembourg Air Rescue que me chamou à atenção...

LX-EAA, com a tripulação aguardando os pacientes que iriam transportar, enquanto um TAP alinha na 05 para descolar

Depois dos pacientes embarcados, era tempo de preparar a saída....com as luzes ligadas, a coisa já fica mais interessante....

Night-stoppers

Yesterday night made a quick stop at the airport for some shots at the night-stop traffic.
The airport was already a bit spooky with most of the lights out and almost no one at sight...

The main reason for the stop, the Learjet 35A, from LAR - Luxembourg Air Rescue, LX-TWO

 Took the oportunity also for a quick shot at a Piper PA-31P 350 Mojave that's been here at Madeira for some time (who knows how regular it will become...)

N155RT

 As I was there, might as well take some pics of the other traffic.

Sata's A320 CS-TKJ.
Despite Sata doesn't make the Madeira-Lisbon flights, there's allways one A320 based at Madeira, for other flights.
Notice the engine blades?

The other usual Sata, Q200 CS-TRB, used on Madeira-Porto Santo  flights with an unusual plane on the back: M-RKAY, a  Raytheon 390.

CS-TKK the last TAP that had arrived (one again, notice the blades...)

CS-TTD that
